The R.J. Leonard Foundation surveyed their Fellows and learned that 20% have never been outside of Pennsylvania. 50% have never seen the ocean. 75% have never seen a play or live performance.

We learned about the places they dream to visit: Alaska, California, Florida, London, France...​... and the things they would like to do:

Whale watch in San Francisco

Camp in Alaska and catch fish

Snorkel in the Florida Keys

Listen to jazz in London

Shake hands with a French baker

Our goal is to broaden our Fellows' perspectives and futures, and we can identify and offerthe best possible experience for all. Generosity and support from our donors allowed us to raise over $10,000 toward this initiative to date.

A recommended share in this program is $25.00. Become a supporter of our Dare to Dream initiative, and provide vulnerable youth with a chance to experience something breathtaking.
